It would be blasphemous to even mention Cats in the same sentence as Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya or Shakespeare's Hamlet, and any writer who did such a thing should be exiled to a Siberian gulag, but Cats has a wondrous, magical value beyond cold Hegelian logic. It is an escape. We sometimes look for relief from the misery of our lives, from unfulfilled hopes and dreams, from relentless disappointments, and this is where Cats excels in general, and this song, in particular. It's pure fun.

@stevethepirate78 - this is my favourite version, I watched the DVD the other day and was completely taken aback when it sounded completely different.

haaaate this version, i wish the piano music had the other version in it =[

i like both versions:)

I love this version.

I prefer the non-jazz version, this doesnt show the cheeky nature of them as much as the other one. Plus, it seems to drag on a bit. This pair are my most favourite cats, i love the bit about the Ming vase on the dvd :L

i actually really like this, are any other songs from the original show as different as this? because this isnt at all like the version most people know.

@DJSpartin121 The only things I could think of was memory was slightly different (it was not a duet at the end) there was an extra verse in invitation to the jellicle ball and growl tigers last stand had a different song in the middle of it, ballad of billy mcgraw.
